E3 2014 - Microsoft Conference

[cool breeze]

no quantum break is weird.  coming after next year's e3?

[Madrun Badrun]

Well I will buy Witcher 3 in a steam sale that's for sure. 

[TVC15]

I think gaming just sucks now.  I care more about following gaming news than I do playing games.

[AdmiralViscen]

That was the most weak and plaintive closing remark I've ever seen

[mjemirzian]

Where were the megatons?

[hampster]

No one more thing

[TakingBackSunday]

No real big announcements.  Little surprised.  Crackdown, Phantom Dust, I guess that's it?

[Your Stalker]

[Cerveza mas fina]

Its more fun* on xbox one.


Wow that tagline is like admittig defeat since nothing looks better on xbox

[Rufus]

No one more thing

Delayed to 2015

2016

[bork]

I liked that Dead Rising DLC-thing the best.  Looked crazy.  And I think I'd like Sunset Overdrive and Crackdown (if it's like the original). That's about it.

[Diunx]

That was trash.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I hope Sony brings out something amazing.

[Eel O'Brian]

I'm down for some more Crack...down

phantom dust

2015 or 2016 getting an xbox

FTFY. Platinum Games is nice and all, but it just looks like "Devil May Monster Hunt" same for Sunset Overdrive: Nice, but not a system seller for me.

Phantom Dust meanwhile...

I liked that Dead Rising DLC-thing the best.

Yeah, I loved the Capcom trolling there with the title of it. If it's exclusive to consoles though, disappointment. I want Frank West in Dead Rising 3 PC. 

[mjemirzian]

Quick thoughts.

Ori The Blind Forest looks really neat.
Sunset Overdrive looks kind of sluggish and half baked.
Never been into Forza or Halo
Phantom Dust never played the original, not sure what kind of game it is
Scalebound no clue but hopefully it's not too self-indulgent like Wonderful 101
Crackdown looks ok I guess

Any actual gameplay footage looked pretty janky. I might be getting spoiled by my gaming PC.

[Rahxephon91]

I hope Sony brings out something amazing.

Yeah The Last of US PS4 and indie games. I'm sure it will be "amazing".

[Madrun Badrun]

A lot of those games still look like transitional-gen games; and there was nothing there to get me to buy an xbone. 

[Mr. Gundam]

Seemed like a good conference. No focus on Kinect, no focus on non-game applications. New IP, some old series people wanted.

However, aside from Platinum, seems like MS is done with courting Japan.

Phantom Dust never played the original, not sure what kind of game it is

3rd person arena combat game that utilizes a CCG battle-system. Developed by some of the Panzer Dragoon people. Great game but totally niche.

[cool breeze]

I'm down for some more Crack...down

It was great.  It's crackdown.  It gets you really high.

[TVC15]

Yeah, while a Platinum game is always welcome, they're track record has now been marred by the janky-ass Wonderful 101.  Being that it's their most recent game, we have cause for concern.

[Takao]

I'm not buying a single thing demoed today (well, I'll probably buy Cuphead, but on Vita/PC/PS4 or something) and I still think that presentation will be better than what Nintendo and Sony have to show.

[TVC15]

Notice that instead of hyping the power of the cloud, they just mentioned dedicated servers.

[Eel O'Brian]

Microsoft

- Fantasia demo reminder that it still exists, which will be really awkward considering
- Although they will stress how they haven't abandoned Kinect and show a couple toss-off games
- Crackdown 3 teased
- Halo HDer Collection
- Some exclusive Indie titles to show they haven't forgotten about Indies

A lot of these were gimmes, though

[thisismyusername]

Phantom Dust never played the original, not sure what kind of game it is

Best Game on X-box. Real-time Magic the Gathering, essentially.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

It wasn't a bad conference if you like the Xbox style of gaming; FPS, Racing and Third Person Shooters.


There literally wasn't anything other than those genres shown except for 2 kinect music games

[Madrun Badrun]

Notice that instead of hyping the power of the cloud, they just mentioned dedicated servers.

Ya I don't think I heard the cloud mentioned once.  The was the best part of the show I just realized. 

[Eel O'Brian]

I'd get the Halo collection and Sunset Overdrive if I owned an XB1

[mjemirzian]

Yeah my bad, I never owned an OG Xbox. Looks pretty cool.

[Eel O'Brian]

There's a sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light coming, if you're a fan of that game

[TVC15]

I'm assuming Sony's conference will be the rest of the 3rd party releases coming out this year, along with a bunch of indie games that also could have been done on PS2 hardware.  This gen sux.

[Tasty]

Yeah, while a Platinum game is always welcome, they're track record has now been marred by the janky-ass Wonderful 101.  Being that it's their most recent game, we have cause for concern.

What about Anarchy Reigns?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

looks cool wil lget on pc

[Sho Nuff]

How did the Platinum thing look? I can't stream nothin' from where I am.

[Tasty]

They gave pretty significant prominence to two artsy fartsy indie games though.

[Tasty]

How did the Platinum thing look? I can't stream nothin' from where I am.

100% CG with not much of an art style. Basically just a knight dude beating up on dragons. Really did look like Devil May Cry + Monster Hunter (single player.)

[cool breeze]

yeah.  we already know that destiny and no man's sky will be there.

[a slime appears]

Generic as fuck. Incredibly disappointing.

[thisismyusername]

How did the Platinum thing look? I can't stream nothin' from where I am.

CGI. Donte remix with less Meth-head and Monster Hunter-ish "gameplay" prototype.

Not really a system seller unless you're balls deep on Kamiya's shaft.

[Huff]

Only saw part of the conference on my lunch break but it seems like it was alright. Games I would get if I had an X0 but nothing that will get me to buy the console

[Vertigo]

Solid conference. I saw at least three games all XB1 exclusives that I'll be getting this year.

Didn't like the abundance of CG trailers.

Wish their was more explanation about what certain games were.

[a slime appears]

Nothing there was exciting except I guess for the Phantom Dust remake.

Since no one in this industry can keep their trap shut there were literally no surprises.

[mjemirzian]

Yeah same plan as the Wii U here. Wait a few years and get it cheap with some games.

[Vertigo]

How did the Platinum thing look? I can't stream nothin' from where I am.

Looks like Guyver x Monster Hunter it was a CG trailer though.

[Tasty]

7/10 seems right.

- No cringeworthy moments.
- All games.
- Decent breadth of genres.
- Nothing shockingly awesome.

[Himu]

Sony have until tonight to convince me to not go Steam + mobile only this generation.

[TVC15]

Yeah, while a Platinum game is always welcome, they're track record has now been marred by the janky-ass Wonderful 101.  Being that it's their most recent game, we have cause for concern.

What about Anarchy Reigns?

Ugh, forgot about that one.

[thisismyusername]

Sony have until tonight to convince me to not go Steam + mobile only this generation.

Not buying an X-box for Phantom Dust or getting to work on an X-box emulator for Phantom Dust 1.



(I'm getting homotional over this reveal so long as it's good. So long as it's good. )

[Huff]

All those indie games looked like garb too. Can't wait to play Threes on a console

[MyNameIsMethodis]

sony has project beast and thats all they need

[bork]

Basically this conference pretty much confirmed that I will be without an Xbone for the foreseeable future.  Maybe next year!

I love phantom dust. But I don't need a remake of it.

[MCD]

Too many multi and that Conker thing was too much.

BUT

Kamiya and Phantom Dust redeemed the show.

The show problem was basically everything leaked. ntkrnl ruined it.

[Takao]
